I have no idea when this was announced, if at all. I just came across this &quot;Inactivity Account Manager&quot; and thought of it as a &quot;Dead man&#x27;s switch&quot; solution.<p>Under the &quot;Add Trusted Contact&quot; section, you can write a personal &quot;atonement&quot; email to whoever will receive your data. At least that&#x27;s how the message to my wife is turning out :|

Sorry I didn&#x27;t see this earlier. A fantastic tool, even if it&#x27;s filling me with existential dread having to write these messages to my loved ones.<p>A really elegant solution to the &quot;Dead man switch&quot;. I&#x27;m glad Google thought to do this. It may be a small thing, but it did really matter to me.

The first time I navigated to that page (by accident, I was exploring my Google account settings) I sat there looking at the screen puzzled. It took me almost 5 minutes to realize that this nebulous description actually meant the passing of the account owner.<p>Couldn&#x27;t they label it more clearly?

Wow, that was a surreal, emotionally moving experience. I recommend everyone to go through it even if you don&#x27;t want to enable it.

Does this include chrome&#x27;s history?
